Arduino HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Tutorial. Measure Distance with Code & Wiring Diagram
Arduino HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Tutorial: Measure Distance with Code & Wiring Diagram Meta description: Learn how to wire and program an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor with Arduino to measure distance in centimeters and inches — full code and troubleshooting included. Introduction The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor is one of the most widely used components in beginner Arduino projects. It measures distance by sending out a sound wave and timing how long it takes to bounce back — the same basic principle used by bats and sonar. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to wire the HC-SR04 to an Arduino, program it to measure distance, and display accurate readings in both centimeters and inches using the Serial Monitor. What This Project Does You'll build a simple distance-measuring circuit where the Arduino triggers the HC-SR04 to send an ultrasonic pulse, measures the time ...
